Troubleshooting – flow-proportional sampling system
If a fault develops in your sampler, we can only provide prompt assistance if you give us the type and
serial number of the apparatus concerned. You will find these data on the type plate.
The more precise your description of the fault is, the better our fault diagnosis will be.
